CAG Report on Coal tabled in Parliament, Govt to face fire

TNI Bureau: The government may face fire from the opposition today on the CAG reports on coal, power and aviation, which resulted in a national loss of Rs 1.86 lakh crore to the exchequer.

All three CAG reports were tabled in Rajya Sabha today. Sources said that the loss is much bigger than the 2G scam. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh can be brought under the scanner as the CAG report on coal raises questions on his role. He had allegedly allocated 44 billion tonnes of coal at low prices when he was the Coal minister between the period 2006 and 2009.
